Distribution and habitat: — Brazil ( Bahia , Distrito Federal, Goiás, Minas Gerais and Tocantins). Campo rupestre and cerrado; 420–1600 m.

Taxonomic Notes: —A widespread and variable species, easily recognized by reddish-brown tomentose stems, capitula fused 1/4–1/2 of length and its paleaceous pappus. The broad concept of Baker (1873) and MacLeish (1987) is here retained. It is similar to Eremanthus goyazensis ( Gardner 1847: 425) Schultz-Bipontinus (1861: 165) , which differs in its capitula entirely fused, and strongly coriaceous, adaxially willow green leaves (vs. subcoriaceous, slightly greyish ivy green), especially on herbarium material.
